Abstract

Il s’agit d’une histoire du marxisme (et non d’une relecture ou d’une réinterprétation de la pensée de Marx) qui relance un débat nécessaire parmi les amis de Karl Marx et les penseurs qui se réclament du marxisme – deux catégories qui sont loin de se recouvrir. En effet, Marx et le marxisme n’ont pas grand-chose à voir. En France, il s’agit d’une problématique qui, pour rester très minoritaire n’est pas totalement inconnue. Parler du marxisme au singulier est sûrement abusif. Il y a des marxismes, souvent très différents et parfois radicalement opposés. Preve en fait le constat. Mais alors que les études marxologiques habituellement classifient les courants du marxisme en fonction des présuppositions théoriques ou des interprétations et réinterprétations de Marx, Preve tente d’appliquer au marxisme la méthode de Marx lui-même, c’est-à-dire la compréhension de la genèse sociale des catégories de la pensée. Malgré une œuvre déjà fort consistante qui fait de lui un des penseurs italiens importants parmi ceux qui se sont mis « à l’école de Marx », Costanzo Preve reste presque inconnu en France. La traduction en français et la publication de la Storia Critica del marxismo, parue en 2007, vient donc combler ce manque à l’heure où la crise favorise un sensible retour à Marx.

Abstract

Amidst a capitalist crisis that has upturned mainstream orthodoxies, this volume underscores the importance of historical and materialist understandings of capitalist economies. Thus, fundamentally, it exposes the limitations of neoclassical economics' endogenous growth theory and how it, in fact, gropes for understandings well established within Marxism. It goes on to examine the relationship between the 'real' economy and 'finance', and also examines how mainstream accounts of stagnation and financialization suffer from an inability to distinguish between productive and unproductive labour. A related study of the financialization of the Turkish economy dovetails this analysis. The volume also questions the current understanding of the information economy and the value of knowledge on a Marxist basis. Finally, an historical re-examination of the Great Depression in light of the current Great Recession, throws new light on modern capitalisms crisis tendencies. The volume concludes with a critique of Lenin's economics, serving also to remind the reader that he is the only world leader who had deeply studied his own country's economy before eventually becoming its leader.

Abstract

The Risk of Social Policy? uses a comparative perspective to systematically analyse the effects of social policy reforms and welfare state retrenchment on voting choice for the government. It re-examines twenty elections in OECD countries to show if and how social policy issues drive elections.This book contributes to the existing literature by providing an empirical analysis of the electoral implications of social policy. Giger asks the basic research question: What are the electoral consequences of social policy performance and retrenchment? More specifically, the following questions are addressed in order to provide a systematic test of the topic: Is retrenchment indeed completely unpopular? Do people punish the government for bad performance in the field of social policy? And what are the political implications of such a punishment reaction; does it affect the government composition? It shows empirically that the risks of welfare state retrenchment to incumbent governments may be lower than previously thought, and presents a theoretical framework for re-examining the impact of retrenchment initiatives on election outcome.Making an important contribution to studies in political economy and welfare by questioning the assumption that social policy is an inherently controversial policy field in times of elections, The Risk of Social Policy? will be of interest to scholars and students concerned with the interplay between government and citizens, social policy and voting behaviour, and the political economy of welfare.
